Changing my written signature - issues?
- Thread starter Quartz
- Start date
I've never been able to do the same signature twice, the only issue I had was trying to withdraw from an ISA that had a balance book thing for it. I showed another form of ID and they made me fill out a signature change form, each and every time I went in. Never needed one since, I sign the back of my cards but nobody ever looks at them so I don't know what the point is.
Signed for car finance with 3 different scribbles, not a flinch.
Bought a house with god knows how many, again, not a flinch.

Ahh sorry - Yes, I didn't realise that's what you meant.
I genuinely didn't know this, it's interesting. Thanks.

I nearly lost a mortgage because of a change in signature! Applied for mortgage, all going well, sent off my paperwork and signed all the forms and totally forgot that the signature on my passport (back then) was from when I was about 18 and looked nothing like the signature I had at the time. Documents were returned to me and I totally missed the letter tucked into one of the forms saying they couldn't reconcile my signatures. Only came to light when I went chasing the money.
I guess because so much is done automatically now we tend not to think too much about signatures but that was my experience anyway so I guess they are checked sometimes.
